What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET.” Romans 7:7

Often when we talk about The Law or Torah, people have a negative perception. They get defensive that the Bible is “judgmental” or say “nobody can meet these standards” ect. Well the answer is Yes and Yes. If you truly want to know God you need to know The Law or Torah, because this is his essence.

The Bible says we are all sinners, but how can we know what sin is unless we have The Law? This is exactly what Paul is trying to teach us here. We can’t know our ways are wrong unless we have a standard to judge…
